About this listen

For Iris, each visit to her mother in St Mabon’s Cove, Cornwall has been the same—a serene escape from the city. But today, as she breaths in the salt air on the doorstep of her beloved childhood home, a heavy weight of anticipation settles over her. Iris knows she’s adopted, but any questions about where she came from have always been shut down by her parents, who can’t bear to revisit the past.

Now, Iris can’t stop thinking about what she’s read on the official paperwork: BABY GIRL, FRANCE, 1939 – the year war was declared with Nazi Germany.

When Iris confronts her mother, she hits the same wall of pain and resistance as whenever she mentions the war. That is, until her mother tearfully hands her an old tin of letters, tucked neatly beside a delicate piece of ivory wool.

Retreating to the loft, Iris steels herself to at last learn the truth, however painful it might be. But, as she peels back each layer of history before her, a sensation of dread grows inside her. The past is calling, and its secrets are more intricate and tangled than Iris could ever have imagined.

The year is 1939, and in Paris, France a young woman is about to commit a terrible betrayal…

A beautifully written and addictively compelling historical novel about the terrible choices ordinary people were forced to make in the horrors of World War Two. If you loved The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Alice Network and The Nightingale, you will devour this book.

The story covers a period of time that so many other stories have covered. But for those of us who did not have to live through those years of atrocities, there can never be enough stories to help us understand how to make sure it never happens again. The narration was perfect.

This is a very well written book with characters who are developed in a realistic manner. Watching the growth of the two protagonists over time was captivating and enjoyable. If you enjoy historical fiction, this was another interesting perspective of the start of World War II.

I read a lot of WWII historical fiction, and I have been trying lately to branch out to areas of conflict I know less about than France and Britain. I’m so glad I didn’t pass this one up on that criteria!! It was a beautiful story about doing the right thing, even if it breaks your heart. I loved it.
